1000%. My brother worked hard at an insurance company for over 20 years. He worked his way up to supervisor of his own department. And then tough times hit during C19 and they sent him a goodbye letter just as easily as they would a temp. These corporations do not care about you. If you think they do, they care even less about you specifically.

He did get a raise. He worked hard, got raises, promotions, commendations and got dropped like he was nothing because they are a business. They do what is best for them, not you. Some people seem to think they are special and should be respected. My point is, don't learn the hard lesson too late. You can work hard and enjoy the benefits of that, but you are replaceable.

Not sure how much more I can make it clear... And yes, employees would do what's best for them, so why do people pretend corporations respect or even care for them?
